Try a combo washer/dryer unit. They do not need a vent to the outside and run of regular household electrical circuit. I LOVE mine. Best deals are at Sear Appliance outlet stores. Very efficient with water and power. There is a small learning curve but the handbook is GREAT. Kenmore offers a clone of the LG or Samsung one at a MUCH better price. Get the "large" version, since it is somewhat smaller than what you may be used to. People in Europe, where electricity is VERY expensive, have been using similar machines for at least 15 years, maybe much longer.

I was told by a Maytag owner not to buy LG washers or dryers.

I never understood the appeal of front-loading washers. Top-loading washers have been just as efficient, long-lasting and cheaper than front-loading.

I am not impressed with my front loaders. Yes, you need to leave the door open on the washing machine so it does not get mold. I do not like leaving the door open all the time. My clothes got cleaner when I used my top loader and the washer and dryer lasted over 15 years with zero problems. I have had the front loaders for about 5 years and the quality is not the same but I guess they use less water and it does play a little song for me when the clothes are done. I just want my clothes cleaned quickly and thoroughly, don't care about the little song.
